Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?
Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiated foods are those that have been exposed to radiation. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are created using biological engineering techniques.
"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers also don't use synthetic fertilizers or hormones, pesticides, or antibiotics.
Is organic meat more nutritious?
If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. This is the crux of it: organic food has been growing in popularity while conventional food has fallen out of favor.
Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic foods are also safer for our overall health and reduce pollution.
But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce takes more time to grow and requires greater resources. This means that organic food costs more money than its non-organic counterpart.
Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
Look for bargains to cut down on costs. Many organic products can be purchased at a discount.
Consuming less meat is another way to save cash. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.
There are many reasons organic foods are better for our bodies and the environment, but we need to be mindful of the cost.
Are organic foods better for us?
According to the Environmental Working Group's latest report on pesticide residues in foods, organic fruits and vegetables had nearly half the level of pesticides compared with non-organic versions. Organic strawberries contained four times more pesticides that their conventional counterparts, and organic apples contained eight percent less.
Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.
Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. Experts recommend that you choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible to lower your chance of developing cancer or other diseases.
Why is organic food important?
Organic produce is vital for our health. Organic produce is the best way to eat healthy foods. It is healthier for us than any pesticides or fertilizers and it is also more eco-friendly.
Organic farming is a natural method of growing crops that uses no harmful chemicals. This means fewer environmental pollutants, making it safer for humans and animals. You are helping the planet and yourself by choosing organic food.
Organic food has many benefits that go beyond health. We all know how toxic processed food can make you feel. However, organic fruits & vegetables aren’t treated with chemical sprays. That means that they taste fresher, look brighter and last longer too.
This is why organic food is so important. Because it's not only healthy for you, it's healthier for the world.
What are the most loved organic products?
The fastest-growing industry is organic food. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.
Organic products are the future. They are safer and more cost-effective for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.
The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.
According to USDA, organic production grew by 10% last year. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.
Organic food is definitely on the rise, but it still seems expensive for consumers. According to the Organic Trade Association, (OTA), organic food retail prices are nearly twice as expensive than conventional options.
That said, organic food is growing faster than any other segment of the food sector. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.
According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 14% between 2010-2011.
This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.
Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
What are organic products good for skin?
Organic skincare products are made without synthetic chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, petroleum jelly, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulphate, talc, triclosan, titanium dioxide, triethanolamine, vitamin A palmitate, etc.
Organic skincare products can be free of artificial colours and fragrances as well as preservatives, emulsifiers GMOs, Petrochemicals, animal testing (except for cosmetics tested on animals), pesticides hormones, antibiotics, heavy metallics and other contaminants.
They also have the ability to support healthy skin, prevent premature ageing, promote healing after injuries and overall well-being.

Why should I choose organic?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.
The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.
As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables
USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.
Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.
Statistics
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)
- As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
- Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)
- When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)

How To
What happens to your Body When You Switch To Organic Products?
Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They come from clean water sources, and are raised on free-range animals. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers to how food is grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. However, some people believe natural doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery shops now carry organic options. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.
These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
